Orange: A rigid frame - a 'virtual' BTBeacon that is constructed using at least three LEDs from any
number of BTBeacons
Pink: A soft frame - a 'virtual' BTBeacon that is constructed using at least one LED from any
number of BTBeacons
Beacon Patch Filtering
The Available Beacons section can be set to show only the selected types of beacons. By default, the
section opens with all types of Beacons selected.
To select the Beacon type that will appear in this section
On the top right corner of the Available Beacons section, click on the Beacons drop-down menu.1.
Select the checkboxes of either the Classic Beacon, or the Rigid Frame, or the Soft Frame or Mini2.
Beacons that you want to show in the section.
Result: Only the selected Beacon types will appear in the Available Beacons section.
BTBeacon Data
When BTBeacons are in the Space, their location and orientation are known by the BTSystem. This
information is displayed in the Beacon Icon for easy reference. BTBeacon data can be separated into
three categories: General, Centroid and LED.
Note: If any BTBeacon information is unavailable, it will appear as “?”. This could be because the
BTBeacon LEDs are not visible by the BTSystem, or the LEDs are unplugged.
Beacon Number: This is the identifying number of BTBeacon. It is used to tell BTBeacons apart
and is assigned to the BTBeacon automatically.
Battery Icon: This icon represents the percentage of power remaining in the BTBeacon. The timer
next to the icon gives an estimate of how long the BTBeacon can operate using the current LED
configuration.
Centroid BTBeacon Data
Centroid BTBeacon data is primarily information based on the average Cartesian coordinates position all
visible LEDs connecting to the BTBeacon. Additional information about the BTBeacon is also displayed.
X : This is the current X coordinate of the BTBeacon. This position is based on the average X
coordinate position of all visible LEDs connected to the BTBeacon.
Y : This is the current Y coordinate of the BTBeacon. This position is based on the average Y
coordinate position of all visible LEDs connected to the BTBeacon.
Z : This is the current Z coordinate of the BTBeacon. This position is based on the average Z
coordinate position of all visible LEDs connected to the BTBeacon.
R : This is the current roll (rotation of X axis) value of the BTBeacon. This is based on the IMU inside
the BTBeacon or the solution based on the rigid frame.
P : This is the current pitch (rotation of Y axis) value of the BTBeacon. This is based on the IMU
inside the BTBeacon or the solution based on the rigid frame.
Y : This is the current yaw (rotation of Z axis) value of the BTBeacon. This is based on the IMU
inside the BTBeacon or the solution based on the rigid frame.
Button A : This indicates the current status of the A button on the BTBeacon. The button can be
set to either ON or OFF. This button is used in fixture calibration.
